IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed, as
described in this manual.
• Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your
dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a
load to catch fi re.
• Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned
in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry-cleaning solvents, or other fl ammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite
or explode.
• Do not reach into the dryer if the drum or any other
part is moving.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the dryer or
attempt any servicing unless specifi cally recommended
in this Use and Care Guide or in published user-repair
instructions that you understand and have the skills to
carry out.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded,
remove the door to the drying compartment.
• Do not allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close
supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is
used near children.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce
the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This appliance must be
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate
static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber
or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
• The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualifi ed service personnel.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
• Always check the inside of the dryer for
foreign objects.
• Clean the lint fi lter before or after each load.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four
potentially harmful substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels.Properly adjusted dryers will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer
to the outdoors.
